MD, I drew the fish, the background,and the thousand or so dots with a fine point pen. I did do some shading (on the background) with an extra smooth ebony pencil.

This reminds me a bit of some old time litho process, very becoming. I wonder if you'll be doing more of the same?

Each time you do a drawing, it gets better and better and better and better than the one following it!

I love spots and dots. I wanted to do one, but then forgot and the week flew by. (siiigh)

Wow! This is well worth spotting, thanks for the tip! Love the detail, the shapes in the squares behind the fish and their positioning is really effective, and you could'nt stop being creative with the framing either. I'm rooted to the spot by this. ...:::::o
